Under Fascism, the basic controls of a society are still in place, but under the control of the dictator or the Party. Under Communism, societal controls are utterly wiped out, and replaced by something completely different. This explains why fascist countries transition into democracies much easier.
Antifa is the modern day version of the KKK. They are the militant wing of the Democrat party.
Antifa is ironic: they exhibit all the policies and behaviors of actual fascists.

There are people on this forum who believe we are seeing a reimplemented new American version which is not built upon or connected to the organization we tangled with throughout Europe during the cold war, and this is just as true as the notion that the globalists seeking power over the Sovereign United States Of America are a new American group of globalists unconnected to the globalists we wrestled with during the cold war.
Some how that makes sense to them.
Me? I think back on the intelligence dispatches which I read in the battalion's S2 shop and today's version lines up perfectly with yesterday's version. I am going with young American recruits inducted into a hardened disciplined and long established international organization with effectivly unlimited funding.
Anything which causes people to underestimate this organization is not preparing them to combat it effectively.
It is preparing them to die.
Antifa is the military arm of the Democrat/Communist Party, USA.
Why they have not yet been designated a Domestic Terrorist organization is beyond me.
Just kidding.
Our Federal Government has their own agenda and it does not involve the security or sovereignty of United States Citizens.
Yak... yak... yak... no one does anything. Pathetic.
Antifa is really Fa. They are the same as 1930 Italian brown shirts. NAZI’s and Fascists by any name are socialists. Conservatism by today’s American definition is the belief that government should be small and unobtrusive.
Nazi’s and fascists of any kind are socialists. They are only different from communists in that Nazi’s believe the government knows best what the workers need. Communists believe that the workers run the government and thereby getting to the same result. In both cases the government through the party runs everything with a strong hand. Nazi’s are not right while communists are left. Nazi’s are simply the inevitable end to communism. Stalin takes control, Hitler takes control, Xi takes control. The workers are forced to just accept the result.
America is based on freedoms and democracy. Antifa is based on taking away freedom of speech assembly and protest from the right.
There is a strong Communist presence.
Remember when Obama said we need a army guess what they are called?.
Democrats mum
Decent article. Gets it right.
The Marxists(Communists)/Socialists and Nazis (National Socialists) had a common appeal to workers; which made them competitors ON THE LEFT. They had a GEOPOLITICAL difference. The Marxists in Germany & France were internationalists, and part of the Left Wing “Internationale”, like their Bolshevik friends & political cousins in Russia/Soviet Union. The Nazis saw they could not immediately (yet then) “nationalize” German industry, and rebuild it and the Germany military post-WWI. They needed the capitalists, they just needed to command them what they wanted them to do, without necessarily taking their properties from them.
In spite of how that was a difference of establishing socialist control, from a common Leftist perspective, the entire Left, post WWII, has maintained every possible effort to always try to frame their biggest opponents as Nazis, trying to hang that label on all opponents of the Left; in spite of the fact that the Nazis had more in common with the Marxists than they did anyone on the traditional DEMOCRATIC “right”.
Unfortunately, the Marxists have been quite successful in that effort with the sheeple of west, in North America and Western Europe. Less so in Much Eastern Europe where those nations experienced occupation by the Nazis and then the Soviets.
Those who lived under both NAZI and Communist rule, such as citizens of Hungary, have stated that as horrific as the NAZIs were, the Communists were even worse.

I had a interesting conversation with my liberal son. He told me about a radical, angry friend of his who wanted to join ANTIFA. His friend found people who put up posters to attend rallies. His friend found fellow kindred spirits to go out and raise hell. But his friend never found an “organization.” No group that meet the third Thursday of each month at a local bar, no membership, no elected leaders, etc.
We talked about it and I couldn’t help but think back on anarchists and wonder if we are trying to turn turn these thugs into more than they are? They clearly want to “cloak” themselves into a bigger movement than they are.
It’s interesting that in the 1930s, Antifa communists actually drove Germans to vote Nazi because Antifa was so violent. So, we can thank Antifa and their tactics for their part in bringing about the Second World War.
